I've a couple sets of Nokian tires that are over 10 years now. That said, I'm more of a recreational commuter. I'm out for the occasional grocery store run, and a couple or three exercise rides when I can make them work into my schedule. Maybe 10-20 miles per week during winter? Spread across usually at least two bikes? Something like that.
Sault Ste Marie. Back up north for winter testing cars!
That's close! We could have a Bikeforums Meetup. Hey, if you ever get time to drive as far as Marquette, there are some nicely groomed trails there for winter riding. I can't go on them w/my skinny tires, but your fat-tire bike would be perfect. Ishpeming and Negaunee also, though I'm less familiar w/those areas. Plenty of hard core fat-tire riders in those cities though.
